File name | An Assessment of Humanitarian Response to Internally Displaced Persons - The Case of South West Region of Cameroon |
File Description | The magnitude of the Anglophone crisis and its impact on the
population requires a multi-sectorial and multi-dimensional response that
includes humanitarian, resilience and development components. Only coordinated
and harmonized actions can mitigate human suffering and address the root causes
of this crisis. However, the response has been minimal, while the precarious
situation on the ground has worsened. The study carried out an assessment of
the different challenges of internally displaces persons (IDPs) in the South West
region, with a survey which was administered to 155 households and the health
record of 1934 IDPs. This study identifies the major challenges faced at hand
through an assessment with percentages and with the support of Middle Upper-Arm
Circumference (MUAC) as well as informant interviews of internally displaced
persons (IDPs). The study results show that there is a significant
deterioration of the situation of IDPs in the domain of healthcare, nutrition,
WASH and food security. On the other hand, the results also indicate that they
are leaving deplorable situations even with the creation of the centre for
humanitarian assistance plan in SW region. The assessment has also identified
several levels of household hunger, reaching severe levels among some households.
They lack a diversity of food intake and difficulty of households to a balanced
diet. In combination with delayed supplementary feeding for infants and
unreliable quality of water further aggravates the already precarious situation. |
